About This Hotel
Prima Palace is located at 2a Pines Street in Jerusalem — near Geulah, Mea Shearim, and Davidka Square, in the frum heart of the city. The hotel is close to the Kotel, Geulah, the light rail, and the center of town (Jaffa Street). The hotel's kashrus is under Badatz Agudat Yisrael Mehadrin supervision, recognized across the chareidi world.
This is one of Jerusalem's veteran frum hotels: founded in the late 1960s by the Porush family as Malon HaMerkaz, it has served chareidi guests from its first day, joined the Prima chain in 2015, and has been undergoing a phased room-by-room renovation in recent years. The 77 rooms come in four categories — Comfort (11 m²), Superior (13 m², fits a couple plus a child), Deluxe (18 m², sleeps three), and Deluxe with balcony — with renovated "New" variants of each, and netilas-yadayim sinks in the rooms.
Religious services are built into the hotel: an on-site synagogue with all daily tefillos, a men's mikveh, a daily Daf Yomi shiur from 7:00 to 7:45 AM, a seforim library, and handwashing basins in dining rooms, banquet halls, and most guest rooms. On Shabbos the rhythm is set up properly: Shabbos elevators plus mechanical Shabbos keys, licht-bentschen at the dining-room entrance, Friday-night seudah in the dining room, coffee and cake Shabbos morning, the meat Shabbos-day seudah at 11:00 AM, and a dairy seudah shlishis as Shabbos winds down. Checkout after Shabbos is at no extra charge.
The kitchen serves homestyle kosher cuisine under strict supervision; the dairy Israeli breakfast buffet runs 7:00–10:30 daily. The hotel offers a warm, family-oriented atmosphere with easy walking access to the shopping and community life of Geulah and Mea Shearim — plus practical comforts families appreciate: free underground parking (limited, first come first served), free luggage storage, a self-service ironing room, and a Jerusalem-stone patio off the lobby. For families whose standard is Badatz Agudat Yisrael, this is a natural fit.
